I don't want the cake
So here we go... after several attempts to get acquainted with this individual scent, it's finally time for a summary. At first, I was quite sure: "The scent suits me," but then I became skeptical again. Overall, I tested it 4 times and came to a different conclusion each time.

Regarding the perfume, the fragrance pyramid sounds really delicious, and when I read mint, it becomes hard to resist the urge to test it. The top note starts off on my skin very strongly with citrus hints, a lovely mix of grapefruit and lemon, but mint is desperately elusive.
The curious thing is - on my skin, the top note fades within 1 minute, yet on a test strip, it lasts a good 5-10 minutes.
As for the further development, I'm unfortunately too subjective, as I neither like coriander nor rhubarb. There used to be rhubarb pie, and I always just nibbled on the dough back then.
Coriander and rhubarb are very noticeable, and regardless of whether I like the scent of rhubarb or not, it smells very authentic. However, the subsequent base note has a failure rate of 50%. Vanilla and amber did not even reach my nostrils during the 4 test runs. For my part, I perceive nutmeg and also a hint of cedar, which complements the heart note excellently.

Conclusion:
So, it's not a bad scent in itself, but extensive smelling and letting it develop is necessary again. The fresh top note and a spicy-warm heart/base note make Live Jazz a fragrance that seems to be made for summer evenings. However, users should be aware that LJ polarizes in both positive and negative ways - but that's the case with all scents that aren't too light; tastes are famously different.

Forest Man
When the forest spirit is let loose, it probably smells like this.
A smoky cool morning in a fir forest. The mist is drifting through, the fire is out, and hey, here comes the Springensfeld - that's what you think with the described scent notes. But it turns out quite differently...

On my skin, I don't like this concoction at all. Today I tried it again on a test strip. You immediately smell an extreme pepper note as well as nutmeg. Both are so clear, distinct, and pure as if the spice cabinet had been submerged in it. In contrast, it seemed to me that there was an extremely herbal smell on my skin.
The heart note is mysteriously almost completely swallowed up. As Apicius already wrote, you only perceive incense and leather very slightly. For the average person like me, who is not a super nose, sniffing it becomes an olfactory challenge.

The playful guessing continues in the base note. No signs of vanilla - that would probably be rather out of place. The combination of vetiver/patchouli
is, I think, very rarely encountered. This perfume promises a lot - perhaps even too much?!
As cat lovers, we should train a little stinker that reacts to certain notes. This would significantly simplify the differentiation.
In summary, one can say: Minor changes throughout, spicy notes, a daring combination of components, and a cool, fresh effect at the beginning make Nuit des Sens a controversial scent. It is advisable to test thoroughly, as not every nose will grant this perfume a pass.

For the Ernies
I'm generally not a fan of aquatic scents, but one should at least test everything; curiosity wins anyway.
As for the scent itself, it doesn't offend. The question that arises for me right from the start is: "What kind of fragrance note is Arctical supposed to be?". The Essence enters the scene with a crisp freshness; in the first 5 minutes, I also catch a hint of something subtly fresh-fruity (possibly blueberry) - but it seems to prefer hiding in a dark corner of the bottle. From now on, it's a dry spell for all fragrance lovers who enjoy a diverse perfume. The heart and base notes hardly change anymore; you can sense them, but you can't sniff them out.
Pine? Roger!
Balsam? Check!
Frankincense? Black pepper?.... System.ERROR!!!

All in all, it's a light, fresh, and unobtrusive little water.
Of course, it doesn't replace a freshly washed shirt, but for the office, after sports, or in summer, it's certainly sufficient - though I'm sure there are more outstanding highlights in that sector.
Just right for all Ernies who are bullied by colleagues or bosses like Stromberg because of their armpit sweat and the resulting smell :P

I Am the Flower Man
I have no muscles, I don’t play sports, I don’t jump out of airplanes,
I don’t know how to cook. Bulbs, shoots, that’s what I love,
flowers turn me on, I am a flower man.

A German comedian sang this not too long ago. I received the sample of Turandot today (thank you very much). I find it extremely difficult to differentiate between the individual notes. You spray F32 on and are overwhelmed by an armada of slightly volatile oils and fragrance substances. The only ones I can still recognize are lavender and lemon, a rather fresh and floral construct. The heart note eludes my facial appendage. Now, after about 1 hour, one can say - yes, the scent changes. However, the big surprise is lacking. On the skin, one ultimately detects a forced floral mix that exists in symbiosis with a delicate vanilla note. Overall, the scent does not change from the spray to the full unfolding.
The challenge in the application lies in the fact that one cannot exactly distinguish for which gender this scent was conceived. It is most likely for those men with a feminine touch or perhaps those with a well-balanced self-confidence. Women can wear F32 at any time - certainly a lovely scent for warm days.

Smoker in Case of Flea Infestation
I bought the scent back then on the recommendation of several female acquaintances. Even though I am now choosing to end it all, there are still plenty of female fans; I just find Magic Man absolutely miserable. Upon the first spray, I immediately notice a sour spicy note that I do not like at all. I might as well just ram a spearhead into my nostrils - it brings the same effect. You can definitely perceive pepper and incense - the sour note is beyond my facial filter.
With other perfumes, one almost mourns that the top note does not last too long, but with Magic Man, you wish to be freed from this misery.
In the heart note, I smell the described cocoa wood, unfortunately only faintly. Everything is still accompanied by the musty scent in the top note that strongly reminds me of the flea bomb I had to set off in September (cats are wonderful ^^). After what feels like a tortured 2 hours, Magic Man finally becomes sweet and spicy, and you can sense why it is liked by some female representatives.

I have no idea if my sample was off or if it simply does not work with my skin chemistry. This "perfume," as it seems to be called, will soon be used as an insecticide for me.
